Forgot one - SYL on their first ever US tour in 1997, them and Stuck Mojo were opening for Testament. We hung out with SYL at their $100 touring van after the show, Devin drew caricatures for us

YES!!!!!!!!! I was going to include this one in my list as well, but could not remember the details! SYL ruled that night! Although I thought Nevermore played too?

Edit: So I looked it up, no Nevermore on that date. But then Nevermore must have played that same week or something, because I remember them playing a lot from In Memory. Who did Nevermore play with? I wish I remembered all this stuff. I should keep notes! haha

I have longed to see Evergrey at all for so fucking long at this point, I even had tickets to travel 160 miles round-trip to see them but it got canceled. I was actually just talking tonight about how I'd really love to see them do an acoustic show, because I think they do a brilliant job with acoustic adaptations of their songs.

I am proud to have seen Strapping Young Lad on their last tour ever on Ozzfest 2006, but it pisses me off to an extreme extent that I, at the time, had no idea who any of the bands were on the entire festival except for BLS and Ozzy...

Today SYL is one of my favorite bands, and it drives me insane that I've seen them before.... I would kill to be able to see them now.

Also I saw Black Sabbath on what is probably going to be their last ever tour with Ozzy, which was Ozzfest 2005.

And Opeth of course.

What drives me crazy is that I went to Ozzfest '06, but came later in the day, so I missed SYL. I didn't even know of them back then, but now that I do, and knowing that it was their last tour, I'm pretty pissed that I didn't see them.
